Bonnet Across Britain - the Journey

Wonder if it will get anywhere near my crazy mileage guesstimate :D LOL


...Well Aimee based on the Bonnet's current mileage with Tom (2work), you could be in with a chance!




Competition for the 'Guess the Mileage' closes tomorrow

Get your entries in to be in with a chance to win our super Audi-related prize! Good Luck!

And Please donate to the great cause in support of the 'Air Ambulances'

Teesside to the Borders, North East coast, providing, no tolls or walls appear in the meantime, plus my passport expired.

Times and dates tricky around shifts but I'm sure we can sort this if we can get this Bonnet northwards.

Could you get it to Scotland if I can get it to you in the North East over Easter? I could probably do that as its a fairly long but straightforward journey from Norwich.

Evening T - a very generous gesture if I might say so; testament to your good character.

If the bonnet isn't going North, I'll pledge to collect it from you the following weekend over Easter and perhaps we can arrange for it to head Essex bound from there.

As my A2 doesn't frequently cover the miles, it won't accrue many in my care; giving some of those who have guessed low an opportunity to gain some ground... :D

Hi everyone,

I've always said that I am happy to deliver the bonnet to someone as both Mabel and I enjoy a drive out. However, I really don't want it back in my dining room for a couple of months!

I am going to the social in Birmingham on the 8th, so am happy to pick it up and deliver it to someone over the Easter Weekend IF, I have a firm commitment from someone that they will take it on then. I don't really mind how far I go, (although Mabel's 'I love you' light came back on on Saturday - driving fine though), but would probably prefer to avoid an overnight stay unless I could find somewhere cheap (Easter weekend might be a bit tricky).

Love and hugs T x

Thank you Darren. It sounds like we can definitely get it moving.
I did promise that in the event that it hadn't done your way and Essex towards the end of the journey, I would facilitate it getting that way and also to Ipswich before Gary takes it off to be sealed, so it will get there one way or another.
I also get four days off over the end of May bank holiday, so can transport then too (and actually, a trip to the North East/Scotland then wouldn't be out of bounds)
 
Well, if you are stuck. i can take it to Swindon with me. And maybe off in to the West Country. It will stay in the car for my daily commute until it gets passed on.

If you come down to the West Country I can take it. I'm frequently heading up to snowdonia and Milton Keynes direction.

Unfortunately I have commitments over the easter period, but what an offer, yes my intentions are to either take it over the border to our Scottish members or vice versa, which ever works with the logistics.

It looks like I could be handing the bonnet over to Chris (KekseKaempfer) next Saturday evening who could hand it over to Putyourmittenson which will certainly add some miles.

Chris, Ill have the bonnet at the meal, if you're still happy to take it on that will be great.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
Hi Chris. If you Let me know your plans with the bonnet and we can try and arrange a transfer.

Is there anybody who would be willing to continue the journey with it either down here in the south west or maybe up in northwales? or perhaps somewhere in between?.

I need to put some miles on first. I have a mate who lives in Merton who is due a visit, so I may be able to get to Devon, depends on if we want to keep it moving, other than in the back of my car.

If anyone near Swindon wants to meet up somewhere, in the next two weeks or so, let me know.

I could meet in say the Chippenham area for a handover except Weds, Thurs, Sat (15th) or Sun (16th).

Alternatively, on Saturday 15th I'm heading to the Stroud area and could do a late afternoon meet, but I wont know the specifics until Thursday or Friday.

Otherwise, we can arrange something after it's been to the west country.

Bonnet on proud display on my drive. My neighbours asked what it was all about, so I explained and they are going to donate. I also couldn't see anything in the kit for info. So I took the liberty of creating a flyer.
